LUKE CAGE: HERO FOR HIRE #12 (1973): 1st Chemistro

IMG_9415

Introducing Chemistro!  Early Luke Cage was a lot like early Fantastic Four or Spider-Man, in that you basically got a “freak of the month” in every issue—new villains, often ridiculous, always campy and fun.  Chemistro is one of my favorites.  He has a gun that can basically change anything into anything. 

You can tell Steve Englehart, George Tuska, and Billy Graham were smoking something when they came up with this one.
